Port Orchard’s coastal climate can be merciless on a roof. The area sees over 45 inches of rain a year – heavier than the U.S. average – and winter storms whip up strong gusts from the Sound. Traditional roofs often struggle here: wood can rot or mold, asphalt shingles can loosen in high winds, and salt air can trigger metal corrosion. But the Interlock metal cedar shingles were engineered with these exact challenges in mind:

• Rain & Moisture: The 4-way interlocking design creates a weather-tight shield that laughs off heavy downpours. Each shingle locks tightly on all four sides, forming a continuous barrier that prevents wind-driven rain from seeping in. No more drip-drip leaks or water worries – even during Port Orchard’s drenching November rainstorms. And unlike real cedar or asphalt, these aluminum shingles won’t absorb water, so there’s no mold, mildew, or moss taking root on the roof. The result? A dry, clean roof year-round, with no green moss carpet that so many northwest homes battle. 🌧️
• Salt Air Resistance: Living near Puget Sound means gentle salt breezes that can quietly wreak havoc on ordinary roofs. Thankfully, this heavy-gauge aluminum roofing laughs off rust. Aluminum naturally doesn’t rust because it contains almost no iron. Each shingle is also coated with the durable Alunar® coating, providing a tough armor against the elements. Corrosion and salt spray are non-issues – a huge relief for homes so close to the coast. This roof looks as pristine as day one, with no chalking or fade, despite years of sun and sea air.
• Wind & Storms: When Pacific storms roll in, bringing gusts that rattle windows, this roof stays steady and silent. Interlock roofs are independently tested to withstand winds up to 120 mph – that’s equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane. In real terms, it means even during fierce windstorms, no shingles will peel off. The secret is in the installation: each panel locks into the next and is securely fastened, so the roof stands as one solid shield. For the homeowner, that means sleeping soundly through wind howls, confident the roof will hold tight.
• Snow & Ice: Snow is rare in Port Orchard’s lowlands, but when a surprise snow does fall, this roof is ready. The smooth metal surface and interlocking panels let snow slide right off before it piles up . No more climbing up to shovel the roof, and no fear of ice dams. Plus, the Class A fire rating offers peace of mind during those dry summer spells – the roof won’t ignite from windblown embers. It’s safety and assurance, built into the very design.

In short, this deep charcoal metal roof was built for the Puget Sound climate. It thrives on rainy winters, shrugs off salty mist, and stands strong against blustery winds. Where other roofs would start showing patches of moss or wear, this one remains crisp, clean, and virtually maintenance-free, season after season.
